I imagine that one person would be me. However, the libelf component of
your statement would not be completely true.
We use these on native Cygwin executables (PECOFF), so we created a stub
libelf with just enough functionality to enable the support we needed from
libdwarf.

I've not done this in this way for cross debugging. What exact
functionality and licensing do you need here. Can gdb and binutils be
used?

No.

Have you tried? What problems did you run into?
